From Megan McArdle, the idea is to go back to Amazon.com, log in and find your first order.

Mine — well, bear in mind that I was 21 years old at the time, but back in 1999 my first order occurred on my 21st birthday, so I assume it was from a gift certificate. I ordered CD’s by Dave Matthews Band (2), Korn, Limp Bizkit, Lo-Fidelity All-stars, and Moxy Früvous, proving that my taste in music at the time was both exceedingly bad and mind-bogglingly eclectic. At least there wasn’t any Rammstein in there. Yes, very embarrassing.

I have to then redeem myself and post my second Amazon order as well, which was my first book order, and of course was The Fountainhead. I read Anthem in high school, and had just read Atlas Shrugged for the first time a few months prior, so I was hooked.

To my co-contributors, readers, and other bloggers, feel free to post your own.

Shockingly, my first purchase was not until 2002. I think I had been living under a rock until then. Fresh out from under that rock, I purchased “Monty Python’s Previous Record” on CD.

I honestly don’t remember…I long ago forgot my login and password to my first account. I now order my purchases on my wife’s account. I’m pretty sure my first order was a book for my kids…”Uncle Wiggley” I think.

…that was back in 2001.

Apparently my first use of Amazon was with the Amazon Honor System, so I have no idea what I bought. I’m not even sure I bought anything, I may have used it to donate money as it was on 9/11/2001. The first real purchases were Dexter Gordon’s “GO” CD and the Robert Johnson Complete Recordings Box Set.
